Hello and welcome. Expression Needed is a blog designed to share my journey in learning photography. It's a personal blog designed to share my views. I am a visual person and love photography and graphics. I also love pets, water fowl and birds. Often times they are the subjects of my photography. Every once in a while, if I get riled up, I even share an opinion or maybe even two!
be still my heart when viewing Bambi.... so beautiful. i love the bird shots, the color of the sky in the first one is so pretty. all of these are really great.
HI Jackie!! Thanks for the advice on the red X- turns out it's only visible to me! I am enjoying your wildlife images-we live on 10.5 acres in the high desert area of Northern California- so we have oodles of wildlife- black bears, cougars,bobcats,fox,jack rabbits,cottontails and all sorts of song birds and raptors! You can scroll through my blog posts and see lots - plus our remodeling projects as we only moved here not quite a year ago! Happy Friday!
The bird shots are just fantastic. I don't have a high-powered telephoto lens so when I do get bird shots, they appear like a blot against the sky. *sigh* The fawn is going for 'deer-on-headlights look. :D Nice captures.
Amazing pictures Jackie, you must feel so connected to nature and the animals when your out shooting your pictures. It gives me a sense of serenity just looking at them, I can't imagine what it does for you. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your art with us! {{Hugs}} Janet :)
Very few things in life (other than my children, of course) make me so happy as to be driving along and happen across a wild deer on the side of the road. I remember when I was a kid, it was fairly rare, but now I live out in the sticks and we see them a bit more often. Lovely photos!!
Waxwings are my favorite birds ever and I don't see enough of them. Thanks for the great pictures...of them and the rest of the lovely wildlife. Happy-making post!
The look of nature never fails to amaze - with the trees minus leaves, we see more of the birds and their antics - cannot do that in the summer! The wildlife is not able to hide much in the winter - and your stunning shots prove that!
Nicely captured deer. I get a few opportunities to capture them, but I don't always take advantage of it. Okay, now for the real reason I'm here. I noticed that your profile states that you live in Madill, OK. Well, my father graduated from Madill high school in 1938. My grand parents are burried in the Madill cemetery. This is a much smaller world than I realized.
I envy you your waxwings. I have seen them only twice in my life. They are such beautiful birds. Not sure I envy you the bobcat, though I can imagine how exciting it must have been to see one - AND to get photos of it!
Waxwings are not often sighted around here, just occasionally during migration. We do have resident bobcats, however but as you found they are quite shy.
Dearest Jackie, Oh, beautiful pictures of birds and deer♡♡♡ The first picture, she looks proud and the sweet little deer is so lovely, my new photographer friend♬♬♬ I hadn't had any interest in taking pictures before I started blogging. Now I am struggling with how I can take beautiful pictures like yours now(^^;) Haha, please praise me if you find mine get improved. Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*
Thanks for sharing such great pics with us on Raindrops and Daisies, Green Day. It was lovely having you with us and I hope that you might come back again another Friday.
Hello Jackie and thank you for dropping by my blog! The cats let me in .. soon I will have my office and more room for them to sprawl ? haha these are gorgeous photos .. I love the waxwings they are such pretty birds and the deer's expression is so beautiful ! Great shots : ) Joy

Wonderful!!! We have seen a flock of Waxwings only once, they were gorging them selves on berries.
ReplyDeleteAnimais lindos, cliques fantásticos, parabéns! Um abraço!

ReplyDeleteHow neat that you got the cedar waxwings. I am still waiting for ours to show up. This is a great series - love your bonus fawn shots. Neat neat neat!

Excellent bird shots.
ReplyDeleteJackie, I love the waxwings, they are adorable birds. And the deer is so cute. Great photos! Thank you for sharing! Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! You bring an entirely different meaning to the term, neighborhood watch.
ReplyDeleteGreat captures. I like the one with bird in flight.
ReplyDeleteWaxwings are such beautiful birds- nice shots of them and the cute little deer!

ReplyDeleteLovely pictures:) Hanne Bente
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots of the waxwings and Bambi looks so cute!

ReplyDeleteGood to see your Cedars Jackie. here we get the Bohemian Waxwing although I haven't managed to see any this winter.
ReplyDeleteGreat serie of photos. Perfect for the theme!
ReplyDeleteHow does that last bird get off the ground?
ReplyDeleteVery pretty -- the cedar waxwings are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLove the little tufty top knot of the waxwing in the first photo! And the deer looks very cautious, but still lets you take a photo!
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures, I hardly ever see waxwings. The little deer is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty bird and cute deer. Your bobcat encounter sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat series!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteThe only way to 'shoot'! Love your captures!
ReplyDeleteWaxwings are my favorite birds ever and I don't see enough of them. Thanks for the great pictures...of them and the rest of the lovely wildlife. Happy-making post!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful wildlife captures, Jackie. Thanks for stopping by to see my snowy shadow shots. Nice to meet you!
ReplyDeletethe last shot is amazing ! I love the look of the young deer and the shadows cast by the trees !
ReplyDeleteStunning birds and I adore the sweet deer.
ReplyDeleteLovely birds and I, too, love the deer! Lovely shots for the day!! Hope your weekend is going well!
ReplyDeleteawesome on both! haven't seen the waxwings here this winter - at least not yet. and never get to see deer, either. only on the back roads.
ReplyDeleteThe look of nature never fails to amaze - with the trees minus leaves, we see more of the birds and their antics - cannot do that in the summer! The wildlife is not able to hide much in the winter - and your stunning shots prove that!
ReplyDeleteNicely captured deer. I get a few opportunities to capture them, but I don't always take advantage of it.
ReplyDeleteOkay, now for the real reason I'm here. I noticed that your profile states that you live in Madill, OK. Well, my father graduated from Madill high school in 1938. My grand parents are burried in the Madill cemetery. This is a much smaller world than I realized.

The bird looks so cool. He looks like wearing sunglasses and you captured very well.

Stunning photos. My favorite, the bird with wings out.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen that kind of bird here.
